POST 4

Hello, Today I´ll talk about september 18TH.
On 18 of September in Chile, the people and citizenship celebrates the National Independence Day. This occasion is for the anniversary of the first national republican government. On 18 of September of 1810 was the first national meeting, but only after almost 8 years later in 1818 the civil war finish between the Spanish and the republican army. Where Bernardo O Higgins, General of the Chilean army wins the battle of Maipú. In 1833 Chile was their final constitution after 5 years of discussion between liberal and conservative groups.
The people celebrate independent day and the birth of the Chilean republic, playing making barbecues with family and friends. Eating meat and drinking wine. Dancing cuecas, that is the national folk dance. This dance is practice by the peasant in the country. Chileans also play traditional games like fling kites, rodeo and horse racing. This country and farm culture, that’s because Chile was a country administrated by the Spain Kingdom, by a monarchy with residence in Spain. My family went out to the country to celebrate the native holidays. I come also my grandmother and all the brothers of my breast and it eats. It was very entertaining.
Byee!
